that ÂTo find out how Arabs undergo daily life in Israel and the
occupied territories, Israeli journalist Binur adopted the clothes and
manners of a Palestinian Arab for six months. ÂHis odyssey is
especially revealing in its visceral portrayal of how Arabs experience
discrimination and intolerance as second-class citizens or outcasts.Â

elections on January 25th, 2006 including Ambassadors Edward Peck and Robert Keeley, included stays in all five neighboring countries: Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. The delegation met with top government
officials and leading opposition figures in Palestine and neighboring Arab countries to assess the accelerated development of democratic institutions and their impact on U.S. long-term interests in the region.
